This is former N4951W, a 737 delivered to Wien Air Alaska May 14, 1975. After Wien closed down in the summer of 1985, the aircraft went to Air Cal in November and was absorbed into American Airlines in the merger of July 1987. Northwest Territorial bought the 737 in February 1989, but was subsequently bought themselves by First Air in 1997 and merged. Damaged in a bounced hard landing at Yellowknife May 22, 2001, it was deemed uneconomical to repair.
